   "that was how I saw it"

    now if we could get more modeling products made this way, it would sure take some hassle out of putting this stuff together!
   I think your model looks great...getting the minute bits straight (or should I say "prototypically lopsided") is exactly what it takes to re-create the original.
   Many modelers tend to "correct" items that are already correct....like smokebox handrails. At least on this one.
   As far as the prototype goes, I would not want to open that door and have it swing back at me....not a great way to get a day started!
   One day I'd like to do the 537....but I am wondering how to do that cracked headlight platfrom...

    Cheers!
